Definitions

  • GB-A 2 245 010 discloses a subceiling grid with visible members clipped onto the T-bars, which members have double-mitred ends so that the central slots in the visible members are continuous at the intersections. It is explained that the ribs in the side walls of the slot are for the engagement of screws when fastening things to the underside of the subceiling.
  • the dimensional element may be extruded, molded, or machined from plastic, wood, metal, composite materials or any material with sufficient flexibility as a thin member to allow the element to snap over the tee grid.
  • Preferred is a material with low thermal expansion (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of less than or equal to 5.4x10 -5 /°C (3.0 x 10 -5 in/in°F)) similar to the grid. In this way, the dimensional element does not move, warp, or gap with changes in ambient temperature once it is applied to the grid.
  • beam 10 is shown with the hooked arms or return flanges 12a and 12b flexed outwardly as the beam is being forced over the rolled flanged edges 16a and 16b of the "T-bar rail" 15 .
  • the inverted T-bar rails comprise the framework suspended in a grid pattern to support the square or rectangular panels that form the ceiling. They represent the type of inverted T-bar rails 15 that are currently used for both residential and commercial ceilings.
  • the support wires, that serve to suspend the rails by being looped through an opening in the rails and then connected to the building structure above, are not shown.
  • a relatively mild force applied by hand as indicated by the arrow, holds return flanges 12a and 12b upwardly against the sides of the edges of flanges 16a and 16b, respectively.

Claims (6)

  1. Unterdecke mit Platten (18), die von einem aufgehängten Rahmenwerk getragen werden, das im wesentlichen aus
    sich in Längsrichtung erstreckenden Hauptschienenelementen und Querschienenelementen (15),
    wobei jedes Schienenelement (15) die Form einer auf dem Kopf stehenden T-Profilschiene mit einem sich quer erstreckenden Paar von gegenüberliegenden unteren Flanschen hat, die sich in Längsrichtung erstrecken und eine genormte Gesamtbreite haben, und
    aus einer Vielzahl von Miniträgern (10) besteht, die sich in Längsrichtung erstrecken, wobei ihre Länge im wesentlichen gleich der Länge der Schienen ist, und die Einrichtungen (12) zum Befestigen an den T-Profilschienen haben, wobei jeder Träger (10) im wesentlichen
    aus einem ebenen Abschnitt (11) mit einer Oberseite und einer Unterseite, wobei seine Breite von zwei Längsrändern begrenzt ist,
    aus einem ersten Rückflansch, der längs eines oberen Randes des ebenen Abschnitts (11) ein Stück damit bildend und sich nach innen erstreckend angeordnet ist,
    aus einem zweiten Rückflansch, der längs eines zweiten oberen Randes des ebenen Abschnitts (11) ein Stück damit bildend und sich nach innen erstreckend angeordnet ist,
    wobei jeder der Rückflansche eine nach unten weisende Fläche und einen nach innen weisenden Rand hat,
    wobei die Rückflansche so angepaßt sind, daß sie die Oberseite des ebenenen Abschnitts (11) im wesentlichen bündig an den sich in Längsrichtung erstreckenden T-Profilschienen (15) des Schienenelements halten,
    aus einem Verbindungselement (13), das ein Stück mit der Unterseite des ebenen Abschnitts (11) bildet und sich nach unten von einem einzigen Bereich aus und in Längsrichtung über der Länge der Unterseite des ebenen Abschnitts des sich in Längsrichtung erstreckenden Trägers erstreckt, und
    aus einem freiliegenden dekorativen Element (14) besteht, das an dem Verbindungselement befestigt ist oder ein Stück damit bildet und ein Paar von sich in Querrichtung erstreckenden Elementen aufweist,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet,
    daß das Paar von sich in Querrichtung erstreckenden Elementen an dem Verbindungselement nur an dessen Abwärtsende festgelegt ist oder eine Stück damit bildet und
    daß bei normalem Einsatz die Platten (18) so angeordnet sind, daß sie auf den Rückflanschen der Miniträger (10) liegen.
  2. Unterdecke nach Anspruch 1, bei welcher das dekorative Element (14) sich in der Horizontalebene befindet, die der der Platten (18) entspricht, die auf dem aufgehängten Rahmenwerk abgestützt sind.
  3. Unterdecke nach Anspruch 1, bei welcher das dekorative Element (14) sich in einer horizontalen Ebene befindet, die tiefer liegt als die der Platten (18), die auf dem aufgehängten Rahmenwerk abgestützt sind.
  4. Unterdecke nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 3, bei welcher die dekorativen Elemente (14) von vier Miniträgern (10) an der Kreuzungsstelle der Hauptschienenelemente und Querschienenelemente (15) zur Bildung einer glatt aussehenden Kreuzungsstelle mit einer Doppelgehrung versehen sind.
  5. Unterdecke nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 4, bei welcher das dekorative Element eine Vielzahl von Elementen aufweist, die ein Stück mit seiner Unterseite bilden und sich nach unten aus den relativ schmalen Bereichen über der Länge der Unterseite erstrecken, wobei wenigstens zwei der Elemente voneinander getrennt sind, so daß das optische Erscheinungsbild der sich nach unten erstreckenden Elemente den dekorativen Effekt bewirken.
  6. Unterdecke nach Anspruch 5, bei welcher die sich nach unten erstreckenden Elemente voneinander getrennt sind.
